I think for the time being it's just best to put the clans at the top, and the individuals in alphabetical order - the only logic behind that for now is that I'm sure there are a lot of people that we won't know which clan they are a part of, at least not without further research, so some pages would have them sorted by clan, and some wouldn't - rather than let it end up being confusing like that, I think we shouldn't try to separate them out yet, and just let the actual biography page indicate which clan they belong to. The kanji pages can serve more like an index rather than try to put in extra info that (in theory) should already be covered by the individual biographies. What do you think? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:03, 17 November 2007 (PST)

And, nice work getting the kanji into the ashikaga page! It seems to be taking me some time getting the kanji - although I just realized I could probably hit up wikipedia for most of it. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:03, 17 November 2007 (PST)
::Ah. I see your point about the not splitting up the clans. Will do. As this is a new thing, these kanji disambig pages, I gather that there'll be a lot of these little organizational details to work out. But I think it's coming along well. Unfortunately, I have to devote the next several hours to shukudai, but after that I'll be back to do what I can on this. .. I don't know what your take is on including people in this lists for whom we don't yet have articles, but the way I figure it, it's saving us work for later, and it's serving to make the lists a tad more complete.

:::It's fine to add the people we don't have yet, since in theory we'll get them eventually. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:19, 17 November 2007 (PST)
::Since no one is going to type a search into the box that looks like this: [[蒲生 (Gamô)]], I think it is most useful to use macrons for these article titles - mainly because the straight kanji pages will redirect to them anyway. By the way, keep an eye on the proper spacing formats and other formatting - might be a good idea to put the pages you edit on your watch list to catch any consistent issues that need to be cleaned up. Don't get me wrong though, you've been a '''huge''' help, these are just minor formatting issues. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 18:52, 10 December 2007 (PST)
:::I do generally try to look over the Recent Changes.. as there's relatively little going on, it's quite manageable, and still wider than just a personal watchlist. ... Anyway, I am trying to remember all these little details (the colon outside the italics, etc), but they're so miniscule... maybe I should start using previous articles as a template to get these kinds of formatting things right. Thanks, Shogun. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 14:46, 12 December 2007 (PST)
::::FYI, that's what I tend to do--find a well established article (I usually use something like Nobunaga or Shingen's article) and use that as a template. Of course, I still find myself with formatting issues every once in a while. Another possibility is make yourself a template in a local text file and then just copy and paste it in before you write the article (I always forget to do that). Hope that helps... --[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 03:30, 13 December 2007 (PST)
:I'm a formatting Nazi - gotta be to keep things straight here :P I think the only major thing I notice is the need to put a space between the surname and given name (kanji), the hashmarks before the colon on <nowiki>''Japanese'':</nowiki>, and two spaces between the bio info and the article, and one space bewtween the article and the references tag. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:51, 13 December 2007 (PST)
== Year pages ==
Thanks for all that work on the year pages - it's really starting to fill out. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 23:35, 17 January 2008 (PST)
::No problem. It's a relatively quick and easy thing - adding individual facts here and there, rather than tackling an entire topic. I recently got my hands on a Japanese high school history textbook which bizarrely consists solely of images with captions, maps, charts/graphs, and chronology lists - so it's super easy to look at just the chronology list for, say, foreign relations and sakoku from 1543-1688.

== Your question ==
I wasn't sure what you were asking here, and I think you might have missed my response:
[[Talk:%E5%A3%8A%E6%9C%88%E5%A0%82_%28Kaigetsud%C3%B4%29]]
::Sorry. I've responded over there. I try to keep a good eye on the Recent Changes list (it's usually quite short, no need to use the watchlist instead), but I guess this slipped past me. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 07:16, 29 January 2008 (PST)
